Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an infeed arrangement, primarily intended for feeding banknotes into a banknote collecting space.
  • One type of banknote storage cassette is constructed to prevent un- authorized removal of the banknotes therefrom and is provided with means operative to destroy the banknotes in the cassette by coating said banknotes with a dye, or rendering the banknotes useless in some other way, should an attempt be made to forceably feed-out the banknotes or to destroy the cassette.
  • cassettes are also known to the art. Irrespective of the type of cassette used, or whether other forms of banknote-storage devices are used, one problem common to all such devices resides in the inability of feeding large quantities of banknotes into the banknote-storage device and stacking the banknotes therein in a smooth and trouble-free fashion.
  • Interruptions in the infeed of banknotes into devices of this nature is, inter alia, primiarly due to jamming of a banknote so as to block the infeed path of the next banknote in line.
  • Such crinkling of a banknote i.e. folding and pleating of a banknote as it is feed in to the banknote storage device, is normally caused because the banknote to be fed into the device, or the uppermost banknote of a stack of banknotes, has along one edge thereof a tear which extends parallel with the transport direction or the leading edge of the banknote.
  • This crinkling of a banknote is more liable to occur when the tear is located close to the end of the first banknote to be fed into the device.
  • a banknote is normally introduced into a banknote magazine between a pair of rubber drive-rollers. Such mechanisms operate by inserting the uppermost or lowermost banknote of a stack of banknotes into the magazine.
  • This known technique is unsatisfactory, when the banknotes concerned are worn, and particularly when the banknotes are damaged.
  • the cassette cannot be used again until it has been emptied of banknotes.
  • This magazine-emptying procedure requires the use of special devices, however, such as electronic devices, in order to enable the cassette to be opened without destroying the banknotes. These devices are not normally kept in the place or premises where the cassette is used, but in some other place.
  • the present invention avoids the disadvantage of known banknote infeed mechanisms with regard to the faulty functioning and deficiency of such devices when the banknotes to be fed in to banknote magazines with the aid of such mechanisms are worn and damaged.
  • invention is not restricted to a banknote infeed arrangement, but can be applied to all sheet-like objects.
  • the present invention thus relates to an arrangement for feeding sheetlike objects, primarily banknotes, into a space in which the objects are stacked one upon the other and with which the objects are fed externally through an infeed aperture into said space.
  • the arrangement is characterised in that it includes.an infeed path which comprises at least one endless belt which is arranged to move past the infeed aperture; in that the path includes a flat part beneath which an object is intended to be deposited; in that the path includes downstream of said flat part a curved part where said path turns back towards the infeed opening; in that the belt is provided with at least one flap or corresponding element which faces rearwardly in the transport direction and the forward edge of which, as seen in said transport direction, projects outwardly from the outwardly facing side of the belt, said flap having in the transport direction a length extension which is shorter than the length extension of an object, said object being intended to be inserted into the infeed aperture and positioned so that its leading edge is located between the flap and the belt; and in that the curved part of said belt is configured so that

  • Figure 8 is a side view of an inventive arrangement constructed in accordance with a preferred embodiment .
  • Figure 1 illustrates schematically and in side view a first embodiment of an infeed arrangement constructed in accordance with a first embodiment.
  • the inventive arrangement comprises the actual infeed mechanism together with some kind of sheet-collecting device, where the sheets are stacked one upon the other.
  • the sheet-collecting device may be of any kind capable of coacting with the infeed mechanism.
  • the present invention relates to an infeed arrangement for sheet-like objects.
  • the invention is described hereinafter, however, with reference to banknotes as an example of such sheet-like objects.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the arrangement schematically, for the sake of clarity.
  • the infeed arrangement includes an infeed path 1 which comprises at least one endless belt 2 which is intended to move in the direction shown by the arrow 3.
  • the belt 2 passes an infeed aperture, generally referenced 4.
  • the infeed aperture includes a slot-like opening 5 provided in a casing 6 or the like surrounding the arrangement, and an infeed passage 7 which leads to the belt 2.
  • Guide plates 8, 9 or like elements are preferably provided along the infeed passage 7, in order to ensure that a banknote inserted through the slot 5 will be positioned correctly in relation to the belt.
  • the belt 2 runs over a first guide-roller assembly 10, which may comprise two or more mutually parallel guide rollers.
  • the infeed path 1 includes a flat part 11 beneath which the banknotes 12 fed into the arrangement are intended to be deposited and there stacked, where the banknote or object last inserted will lie on the top of the stack illustrated in Figure 1. Downstream of the flat part 11, the path presents a curved part, where the path 1 passes over a second guide-roller 13 and forms an angle V1 with the flat part 11 of said path, whereafter the path 1 runs over a third belt guide-roller 14 located at a distance from the second belt guide-roller 13 in a direction towards the infeed aperture.
  • the embodiment illustrated in Figure 1 also includes a fourth guideroller 15.
  • the infeed path, or belt, is driven by an electric motor connected to the shaft of one of the. guide-rollers 10, 13-15.
  • the belt 2 is provided with at least one flap 20, 21 which projects outwardly in the transport direction.
  • the belt is provided with two flaps 20, 21 which are spaced apart by a distance corresponding to half the circumference of the belt.
  • the forward edge 22 of each of said flaps projects outwards from the outwardly facing side of the belt 2.
  • the length dimension of the flaps 20, 21 is shorter than the length dimension of a banknote in the transport direction.
  • the flap 20, 21 has a length dimension which is shorter than half the length of the banknote, preferably shorter than a third of the length dimension of a banknote.
  • the infeed of a banknote is commenced by inserting the banknote into the infeed aperture and therewith positioning the banknote so that its forward edge, seen in the transport direction, is placed between the flap 21 and the belt 2, as illustrated in Figure 1.
  • the arrangement is constructed so that the distance between the second guide roller 13 and the third guide roller 14 corresponds approximately to the length of the flap in the transport direction.
  • the rear end 23 of the flap will swing outwards from the belt 2 when the forward edge of the flap 20 begins to bend around the guide roller 14, or prior to bending around said roller 14, or subsequent to having begun to bend around said guide roller 14.
  • the angle V2 defined between the belt parts on respective sides of the third guide roller 14 is about 150o to 30°, preferably about 90°.
  • the angle VI between the belt parts on respective sides of the second guide roller 13 is about 150o to 30o, preferably about 90°.
  • the flap and the belt define an adequate angle therebetween. Consequently, it is preferred that the belt parts on respective sides of the first guide roller 10 define an angle V3 of about 0° to 90o, preferably about 30°.
  • the guide rollers or guide-roller assemblies can be replaced with stationary rods or like elements over which the belt or belts are guided.
  • the term guide roller used in the following Claims will also include rods or like elements.
  • the belt and the flaps 20, 21 are made from a material which is sufficiently rigid to achieve the aforesaid effect.
  • the belt and flaps comprise a sufficiently-rigid material which will generate relatively low friction against the sheet-like object, preferably a Teflon-coated fibre-glass fabric.
  • a pressure roller 24 which exerts pressure on the belt and the first guide roller.
  • a pressure plate 25 or corresponding element Located adjacent the flat part 11 of the belt 2 is a pressure plate 25 or corresponding element having a surface area which corresponds to the surface area of the object 12.
  • the plate 25 is biased into light abutment with the belt by means of a spring arrangement 26, 27.
  • FIG. 2-4 illustrate mutually different embodiments of flaps and belt, in which the flaps are shown from above in Figure 1 , and hence the belt transport direction is to the right in Figure 2-4.
  • Figure 6 illustrates a method of producing an endless belt with two flaps.
  • the flap 30, seen from above has a forward part 31 which extends across the width of the belt 2 and from which two or more fingers 32 , 33 , 34 extend in a direction opposite to the transport direction. It is essential that the two outer fingers 32, 34 cover those edges of a banknote which extend parallel with the transport direction.
  • the position of a banknote in relation to the belt 2 and the flaps is indicated in chain lines. It should be men tioned, however, that a banknote is never transported along the upper part or run 35 of the belt.
  • Figure 4 illustrates an embodiment in which the path 1 comprises three mutually parallel belts 36, 37, 38, each provided with respective flaps 39, 40, 41.
  • the path 1 may also comprise two mutually parallel belts or more than three belts.
  • two or more of the belts may be provided with a respective flap.
  • FIG 3 illustrates a simplified embodiment, in which the flap 42 has no fingers. It is preferred, however, to provide the flap with fingers, such as the fingers 32, 34 illustrated in Figure 2. A flap of this construction affords an advantage when configuring the infeed passage 7.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a method of producing an endless belt 2 having two flaps 20, 21.
  • those ends 90, 91 of two belts 92, 93 which are not intended to form a flap are attached to the inside of respective belts in a manner to form the flaps 20, 21.
  • Respective flaps and their junction with respective belts will therefore form an integral unit. It will be understood that if the flaps were to be attached directly to the outer surface of an endless belt, the join between flap and belt would be liable to catch against the edge of the last banknote facing the infeed aperture during an infeed operation, therewith interfering with the infeed of said banknotes.
  • a guide-slot defined by two mutually parallel plates 8, 9, of which the top plate 8 includes parallel fingers 51, 52, as illustrated in Figure 2.
  • the bottom plate 9 is whole.
  • the fingers 51, 52 of the bottom plate 8 extend parallel with the transport direction and are positioned so that the fingers 32-34 on the flaps can pass between the fingers 51, 52 on said plate.
  • the fingers of the plate 8 are positioned in a corresponding manner, i.e. between the belts.
  • the flap or flaps will lie against the bottom plate 9 when the forward edge of the plate 9 is located adjacent the point at which the flap or flaps join the belt 2 or belts, while the top plate 8 may have a length extension equal to the length extension of the bottom plate 9.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the belt in a starting position, in which the belt is stationary.
  • Means are provided for stopping the belt in this position, and also for stopping the belt in the position in which the flap 20 is located in the position in which the flap 21 is located.
  • the belt is thus stopped twice with each revolution of the belt, that is when the belt is provided with two flaps 20, 21.
  • These means may comprise a first photo-cell comprising a photo-diode 60 and a photo-transistor 61, the beam path of the photo-cell being broken when a flap 21 is located on the bottom plate 9.
  • the arrangement also includes a second photo-cell comprising a photo-diode 62 and a photo-transistor 63, the beam path of which is located adjacent the first guide roller 10, said beam path being broken when a banknote 12 has been inserted to a sufficient extent in between the belt 2 and the flap 21.
  • a suitable distance between the forward edge of the banknote and the junction between flap and belt is 10-15 mm.
  • a signal is sent, with the aid of suitable, known means, to a drive motor for starting the belt.
  • the drive motor then rotates the belt 2 until the flap 20 reaches the position occupied by the flap 21 in Figure 1, whereafter the procedure is repeated and the next banknote is inserted, and so on.
  • the arrangement may also be provided with a third photo-cell comprising a photo-diode 64 and a photo-transistor 65, the beam path of which is located in the close proximity of the slot-like opening 5.
  • a third photo-cell comprising a photo-diode 64 and a photo-transistor 65, the beam path of which is located in the close proximity of the slot-like opening 5.
  • two drive rollers or drive-roller assemblies 66, 67 are provided, the drive motors of which are started when the beam path of the third photo-cell is broken.
  • This drive is stopped suitably a short time after the pulse occurring when the banknote fed-in by means of the drive roller 66, 67 open the beam path of the second photo-cell, which takes place when the rear edge of the banknote passes the beam path of the third photo-cell.
  • the infeed-control circuit for controlling the afore-described procedure may be of any known kind and will not therefore be described in detail here.
  • the modus operandi of the infeed arrangement is as follows:
  • the belt is in its starting position, as illustrated in Figure 1.
  • a banknote 12 is then inserted through the slot-like opening 5 until the banknote breaks the beam path of the third photo-cell 64, 65, whereupon the drive rollers 66, 67 are activated to advance the banknote 12 until the leading edge of said banknote breaks the beam path of the second photo-cell 62, 63.
  • the belt is therewith started and moves in the direction of the arrow 3, so as to draw the banknote in between the first guide roller 10 and the pressure roller 24, with the forward edge of the banknote lying between the belt and the flap, as illustrated in Figure 5a.
  • Figure 5a-5c illustrate the belt, the flap and the banknote slightly separated from one another.
  • the flap 21 When the flap 21 reaches the pressure plate 25, or the uppermost banknote on said pressure plate when banknotes have already been deposited on said plate, the flap presses against the banknote so as to clamp the banknote firmly between the flap and the belt.

  • the rear edge 71 of the flap leaves said space when the junction 70 of the flap with the belt reaches the third drive roller 14, or prior to said junction reaching said roller.
  • the belt 2 of the illustrated embodiment is then stopped, due to the second flap 20 having reached a position in the infeed passage where it breaks the beam path of the first photo-cell 62, 63, i.e. has reached the starting position.
